Contract dispute and legal action
Brazilian outlet Globo claims Richarlison is ready to fight Tottenham to force his way out of the club. It is reported that he is looking to take legal action to cancel his contract and sign for Vasco da Gama.
Earlier speculation suggested a potential swap deal between Tottenham and Everton involving Ilman Ndaiye, but the latter eventually completed a move to Manchester City.
Statement and transfer links
Richarlison released a statement appearing to criticise Tottenham amid speculation over a potential return to Everton. He has since been linked with a move to Turkish side Trabzonspor.
The forward has not been included in Tottenham's Premier League squad for the season.
